Ultima Online rocked. The simulation approach, where even the economy was initially closed, was incredible. But then the glut of caps and shoes on the market drove prices so far down… I still go back for a month every year and a half or so. And I still hate PvP with a passion thanks to [the original flavor of] UO. Hopefully they’ll keep the original online even if they remake.

The first thing I did after discovering teh Intarwebs in 1995 was to join the Ultima Dragons, an Internet fan club of all things Ultima. Ultima V was the first game I ever bought, even though it cost me a fortune in pocket money.

I wouldn’t be interested in a new Ultima Online, but a modern remake of Ultima IV would kick major ass.
